Good episode. I feel like I've now seen more of a realistic situational side of the story since Araragi couldn't save EVERYONE this time around. I also like the fact that the side characters kind of stick around but they kind of left out Hachikuji, so that's kind of a loop hole to that. Either way, good episode. Finally, we get around to the main climax of the story. Looking forward to the next!

Whole time it was like BLACK SCREEN RED SCREEEN BLACK SCREEN RED SCREEN a second of fight footage BLACK SCREEN RED SCREEN BLACK SCREEN two seconds of footage of him standing there making me think the video was out of sync with the audio then BLACK SCREEN RED SCREEN.

so Koyomi forcefully removed one snake, and you see the other snake is still in Nadeko's body, yet at the end of the episode, she's fine. What happened to the other snake.
Or it's an error of animation and the first snake was removed by the ritual and the scond snake was the one forcefully removed. IDK

"I know I asked you to give her something so we can see the scales disappearing, but why a school swimsuit of all things?!"
"I was trying to appeal to your fetishes"
"Don't do that!!!"
"So you admit it's a fetish of yours?"

I like pretty much every part's climax so far in the show. Hope there is something that can really make me go a big wow though. The conversations are really good although sometimes I do feel it becomes a drag (especially Hachikuji arc) but lately its been good.

This arc was disappointing imo, especially compared to the previous one. Nadeko felt really generic and her back story of how she just happened to fall for her friend's brother and kept liking him all the time is very convenient.

Koyomi is too kind. He shouldn't have went through the trouble of trying to stop the snakes from going back to those who summoned the curse. It is just like what they said, "What goes around, comes around".

Ehh, I want more Senjougahara and Hanekawa-chan, I didn't liked this snake-girl. Also, i think it's not good idea with introduce even more girls than now... I hope in next arcs shouldn't be another new characters. But I liked the anime and i even don't think about drop it.

The missing animation bothered me a little bit but not enough to put a damper on an amazing series :3 The animation and artwork they DO put out for this is seriously stunning, and I love all the characters! I agree the Monkey fight was better though.

Clearly you don't understand the inside jokes of the show. Honestly, you will just end up being the one that loses out in the end.

I understand the jokes fine. The series is simply bad. There's barely any development or progress each episode because the show wastes time with pointless dialogue. No, the dialogue isn't clever or funny, it's just dumb. The show hardly has any animation. Mostly eye shots and random splash screens. The story is a harem in disguise. It doesn't matter that he has a girl friend when they don't act the part. She's only a girlfriend by title. The CG backgrounds are tacky and distracting. It doesn't look natural at all. All the characters are flat and wooden. I don't care about a single one of them. The worst thing about the show, it's boring. I find myself bored during most of the episode.

Wow, I don't think Araragi has a single malicious bone in his body. He tries to save everyone, even the people who bring about the evil stuff, and even if its all at his expense. Even if he knows he can't, he still comes close to death trying. Araragi's becoming one of my favorite protagonists.

I just went to check the tv version afterwards to see what people were complaining about and daaaaamn they improved the animation so much in the bluray. It was a good decision to not watch this back when it aired.

But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy."

Nice plot twist on Nadeko's snake curse. Although I was expecting to see maybe more Senjougahara, but I guess she's irrelevant right now. Oh well poor guy will have to deal with Karma. You play with fire you'll get burned and in this case the guy cursed Nadeko, and that one snake will come back to haunt him.

Yippee!! Tsubasa's arc is next. I've been waiting for her arc since she first appeared.

Snake constrictor ... is a curse born from spite and made from a weird spell!! An amateur can came out with this curse!? ... (but its just an amateur after all.. edit : shit a revelation it wasn't just one but two!! Damn people why you do this kind of things!!)
The Ritual begins!!
Nadeko's flashbacks was nice!!
Damn Araragi !! you should know better!! (well.. he is an idiot sometimes..)
A Revelation!!
Araragi on a desperate situation!! Those Snakes are stubborn!!
Violent but coward!! a true fact for snakes!!
Snake venom is twice as powerful as a serious illness !! be careful with that!!
Kanbaru was pretty good on the role even if it was a harsh one.
Araragi just have a strong tendency to save anyone from anything .. its not your fault though. Because its good to save anyone but don't over exaggerate your limits.
Nadeko snake ends.
Good ending at the least.
